Or just get creative and make a fantastical boat of your own. Our theme is Vikings, so see if you can use that to decide what sort of boat to make. The men at the Broadstairs Shed have made us a 27ft long Viking boat, which will be burned on the beach at the end of the parade.

For the parade on Sunday 2 November, bring your boats and get dressed up! The parade, led by the Viper Corps Drummers, will commence at 3.30pm and go down to the seafront, leaving from the old Motor Museum (Paragon, opp. Churchill Tavern, Ramsgate). Children must be accompanied by an adult.
